There has been a sharp decline in contributions from RNC phone solicitations, another fired staffer said, reporting that many former donors flatly refuse to give more money to the national party if Mr. Bush and the Senate Republicans insist on supporting what these angry contributors call "amnesty" for illegal aliens. "Everyone donor in 50 states we reached has been angry, especially in the last month and a half, and for 99 percent of them immigration is the No. 1 issue," said the former employee.

Results are starting to show. I wonder if they'll be heeded by the Republicans in time to avoid this amnesty bill.

Bumptity-Bump-Bump!

Don’t count on it...

[Cicero]

I got a call a couple of days ago from the Republican Senate committee and told them to get lost. I don’t know why they called, because I donate to particular politicians, not to the RNC or whatever the senate support group is called.

I hope Duncan Hunter gains traction due to this issue.

[The Blitherer]

Nice. Finally, a language those bonehead politicians understand.

$$$

[lady lawyer]

I’m one of those former donors that told the solicitor a couple of weeks ago that they would not get another dime from me if that amnesty bill passed.

"There has been a sharp decline in contributions from RNC phone solicitations..."

Good.

Payback is such a bitch...

[Diogenesis]

Fire the messengers, rather than change the program.

There is only one conclusion:
The GOP is dead and waste of time.

[RegulatorCountry]

I don’t know why they called, because I donate to particular politicians, not to the RNC or whatever the senate support group is called.

They're resorting to cold-calling registered Republicans, because the house file isn't performing.

[cripplecreek]

I’m a shameless promoter of Duncan Hunter. Every time someone says they’re done with the GOP, I point them in his direction.

[conserv8ive1]

These idiots still won’t get the message.

“Everyone donor in 50 states we reached has been angry, especially in the last month and a half,...”

For once in my life....I was well ahead of the curve.
I started passing along my dissatisfaction to the RNC/GOP fundraisers
about 2 years ago.

And I know that puts me well behind the folks who really saw this
crap coming many years earlier.

[pleikumud]

All the mail from RNC has been going in the trash here for over two years. They don’t get it - don’t understand that the Republican Party has become too liberal.

[Bullish]

Yeah, like we really want to give money to a party that wants to sell us down the river.

[engrpat]

They called here a couple of weeks ago. I told the young man that instead of calling me for money they should be calling the illegals that the RNC prefers over hard working Americans. He said he hears a lot of that.
